佛羅里達州房主將不得不等待財產稅減免

佛羅里達州立法者一致批准了一項措施，將州銷售稅永久降低到5.25％。

Florida homeowners may be disappointed to learn that they will have to wait for property tax relief as the state's House Ways and Means Committee has approved a measure to permanently reduce the state sales tax.

佛羅里達州的房主可能會失望地得知他們將不得不等待財產稅減免，因為該州的眾議院方法和手段委員會已批准了一項永久減少州銷售稅的措施。

The committee, with unanimous consent, passed the legislation that would decrease the sales tax from 6% to 5.25%. Additionally, the bill aims to lower sales taxes by 0.75% on various goods and services, including commercial rent, new mobile homes, coin-operated amusement machines, and electricity.

在一致同意下，該委員會通過了將營業稅從6％降低到5.25％的立法。此外，該法案的目的是將各種商品和服務（包括商業租金，新移動房屋，貨幣經營的娛樂機器和電力）降低0.75％的營業稅。

The measure, which is estimated to cost the state $5 billion annually, now proceeds to the full House for a vote.

該措施估計每年耗資50億美元，現在要進行全部投票。

The approval comes as the governor had proposed an alternative plan to provide up to $1,000 in tax relief to each homesteaded property in the Sunshine State. The property tax relief rebates would have been issued in December 2025 if the Florida Legislature granted authority.

批准是由於州長提出了一項替代計劃，向陽光州的每個居住財產提供多達1,000美元的稅收減免。如果佛羅里達州立法機關授予當局，則財產稅減免返還將在2025年12月發行。

According to the governor's office, the measure would have benefited over 5.1 million homeowners. That pitch appears left in the dust as legislators voted instead for a sales cut.

據州長辦公室稱，該措施將使超過510萬的房主受益。當立法者投票贊成促銷活動時，該音高出現在塵土中。

“Property taxes effectively require homeowners to pay rent to the government,” DeSantis said in a statement. “Constitutional protections for Florida homeowners require approval of the voters in 2026. In the meantime, Floridians need relief. I would prefer to see the tax burden on property values get shifted to non-Floridians who vacation here, invest here, or live here part-time.”

DeSantis在一份聲明中說：“財產稅有效地要求房主向政府支付租金。” “佛羅里達州房主的憲法保護需要在2026年獲得選民的批准。與此同時，佛羅里達人需要救濟。我寧願看到財產價值的稅收負擔轉移到在這裡度假，在這里或在這裡進行兼職的非氯化工人的稅收負擔。”

DeSantis added that he would like to see more transparency and accountability on how taxes are spent to curb overspending.

DeSantis補充說，他希望在如何遏制超支的稅收上看到更多的透明度和問責制。

“In Florida, we have this great luxury of being able to offload tax burden to non-Floridians because people visit, people invest here, people live here part-time who aren't residents.”

“在佛羅里達州，我們擁有能夠向非氯化工人扣除稅收負擔，因為人們參觀，人們在這裡投資，人們居住在這裡的人們不是居民。”

So, what kind of tax cut will Floridians get? Here are some proposals on the table.

那麼，佛羅里達人將獲得什麼樣的減稅？這是桌子上的一些建議。

DeSantis is planning to abolish property taxes and have the measure on the 2026 ballot.

DeSantis計劃廢除財產稅，並在2026年投票中採取措施。

The governor has expressed support for a proposal that would eliminate property taxes in Florida. However, the bold proposal has roused concerns from economists on the implications this measure would have for state revenue.

州長表示支持一項將取消佛羅里達州財產稅的提案。但是，大膽的提議引起了經濟學家對這項措施對國家收入的影響的關注。

As reported by Kiplinger, in Florida, property taxes fund schools, infrastructure for roads and parks, and safety net programs — like firefighters, police departments, and public hospitals. This funding is essential given that the Sunshine State is a no-income state.

據吉普林格（Kiplinger）報導，佛羅里達州的財產稅基金學校，道路和公園基礎設施以及安全網計劃（例如消防員，警察局和公立醫院）。鑑於陽光狀態是一個不收入的國家，這項資金至關重要。

According to the Florida Policy Institute (FPI), Florida’s tax on real property makes up 18% of county revenue, 17% of municipal revenue, and up to 60% of school district revenue. They say that eliminating property taxes would be problematic.

根據佛羅里達州政策研究所（FPI）的數據，佛羅里達州對房地產的稅收佔縣收入的18％，市政收入的17％，最多佔學區收入的60％。他們說，消除財產稅將是有問題的。

“The tax has proved remarkably resilient and capable of being tailored to local interests,” the FPI analysts wrote. “It survives as the most important source of revenue in local governments primarily because of its stability.”

FPI分析師寫道：“事實證明，這項稅收非常有彈性，能夠根據當地利益量身定制。” “它是地方政府最重要的收入來源，主要是因為其穩定。”

If Florida were to eliminate property taxes, the state would have to raise $43 billion (or $2,015 per person) to keep public services currently funded with property tax revenue afloat.

如果佛羅里達州取消財產稅，該州將不得不籌集430億美元（或每人2,015美元），以使目前以財產稅收入為基金的公共服務保持流利。

To get close to getting that funding back, the state would need to double its sales tax rate to 12%. That would generate roughly $40.2 billion annually — that’s only if consumers can keep up with higher costs.

為了接近這筆資金，該州需要將其營業稅率翻一番，達到12％。每年將產生大約402億美元的價格 - 僅當消費者能夠及時及時付出更高的成本時。

Separately, costs of everyday goods are expected to rise due to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff policies on imported goods to the U.S.

另外，由於總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）對美國進口商品的全面關稅政策，預計日常商品的成本將上漲

“Increasing sales taxes, whether it is at the local level or statewide, is a regressive option that would ultimately make Florida’s tax code more inequitable,” wrote the FPI.

FPI寫道：“無論是在地方一級還是全州，增加營業稅都是一種回歸選擇，最終將使佛羅里達的稅法更加不公平。”

So far, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kansas have proposed similar measures to banish property taxes.

到目前為止，伊利諾伊州，賓夕法尼亞州和堪薩斯州已經提出了類似的措施來消除財產稅。

Property taxes in some popular areas in Florida have risen sharply in recent years, according to Redfin. In Tampa, the median household paid $2,797 in property tax in 2024, that's up 56.7% from 2019.

據Redfin稱，近年來，佛羅里達州一些受歡迎地區的財產稅急劇上升。在坦帕，中位家庭在2024年支付了2,797美元的財產稅，比2019年增長了56.7％。

Instead of providing $5 billion per year via a statewide sales cut, DeSantis would have preferred the Florida House to provide tax relief on property taxes.

DeSantis不是每年提供50億美元的銷售額，而是偏愛佛羅里達州的房屋來減免財產稅。

Under DeSantis’ proposal, the cut would have resulted in a rebate averaging $1,000 for each homesteaded property in the state. The rebates would have also covered state-mandated school property taxes, which would guarantee school district funding while offering a tax break to homeowners.

根據DeSantis的提議，該州的削減將導致該州的每個居住財產平均1,000美元。回扣還將支付國家規定的學校財產稅，這將保證學區資助，同時向房主提供稅收減免。

The governor was counting on the legislature to approve the measure to get the rebates delivered to homeowners immediately, as soon as December 2025.

州長指望立法機關批准該措施，以立即將折扣交給房主，盡快將其送交房主。

“We want to be as bold as we can be, but we also have a reality that we have to get these things passed by the legislature,” DeSantis said during a conference at the Florida Realtors Association this month. “You gotta convince them.”

DeSantis在本月佛羅里達房地產經紀人協會的一次會議上說：“我們希望盡可能大膽，但我們也有一個現實，我們必須將這些事情通過。” “你必須說服他們。”
